whts x = ? x/12 - 1/3=5/6?

Question

THANK U SOO MUCH

Answer 1

x/12-4/12=10/12 (add 4/12 to each side)
x/12 =14/12 (now multiply each side by 12)
x =14 (your answer)

Answer 2

When u get fraction problems like this, the thing you should think of is getting rid of fractions. The more you get rid of the better. So here's how I went though it:

x/12 - 1/3 = 5/6

(x-4)/12 = 5/6 (I got rid of 1/3 by multiplying both denominator and numerator by 4, making the denominator 12, now we can combine the fractions)

x-4 = 10 (Multiply 12 by both sides to elimate the fraction)

x = 14 (Add 4 to both sides)

Answer 3

x=14. Take all 3 fractions and make them have common denominators....12. 12/3=4 so 1/3=4/12......5/6=10/12...............14/12-4/12=10/12 which when reduced equals 5/6

Answer 4

x/12 - 4/12=10/12 x=?
Add 4/12 to both sides
x/12=14/12
Multiply x/12 and 14/12 by 12

x=14

Answer 5

Multiply every thing by 12

x-4=10
x-4+4=10+4
x=14

Answer 6

you need to convert all of the fractions to have same common denominator...12
x/12 - 4/12= 10/12
now do the problem to figure it out...

Answer 7

I got 14 like the person above me.
